REPORT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION AS 
TO THE SUPPORT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS. 



To the Honorable Senate and House of Representatives. 

The following is the text of the resolve directing the Board 
^to make an investigation and report relative to the support of 
public schools : — 

Resolves of 1914, Chapter 139. 
Resolve to provide for an In\'estigation as to a More Equitable 
Method of supporting the Public Schools. 
Resolved, That the board of education be du'ected to investigate the 
methods now prescribed by law for distributing between municipalities 
and the commonwealth the cost of public education in the common- 
wealth ; to submit a plan for a more equitable distribution of the Massa- 
chusetts School I\ind to towns having a vahiation of less than two 
million five hundred thousand dollars; and also to make recommenda- 
tions with regard to a tax for the support, of public schools, and the 
best methods of distributing the proceeds of such tax. The board shall 
report to the general court not later than the third Wednesday in 
January in the j'ear nineteen hundred and fifteen, the report to be accom- 
panied by drafts of such bills as may be necessary to carry its recom- 
mendations into effect. [Approved Jidij 1, 1914. 

In compliance with the foregoing resolve, the Board of Ed- 
ucation submits herewith a report, to which are added the fol- 
lowing appendices : — 

A. Proposed form of bill as to a State school fund, or so- 
called " Mill Tax Fund. " 

B. Proposed form of bill amending law as to distribution 
of income of the Massachusetts School Fund. 

C. Statistical exhibit showing certain facts regarding the 
distribution of the cost of education between local communities 
and the State in various States of the Union. 



4 BOARD OF EDUCATION. [Feb. 

D. Statistical exhibit showing principal facts as to the dis- 
tribution of the cost of education between local communities 
and the State in Massachusetts. 

In this report the Board quotes a part of its report submitted 
to the Legislature of 1913, on the same subject, in which it 
was shown that — 

(a) In Massachusetts, to an extent proportionately gi-eater 
than in any other State in the Union, the funds for the support 
of the public schools are derived from local taxation. 

(h) The cost of public education in Massachusetts, as else- 
where, constitutes the largest single item of expense for each 
community, usually amounting to at least one quarter or one 
third of all expenditures from the proceeds of taxation. ^ 

(c) In ]\Iassachusetts, as elsewhere, the quality and general 
standards of public education which determine the amount of 
public school expenditures are in large part prescril)ed by law, 
and the State is generally regarded as responsible for enforc- 
ing throughout the Commonwealth provision for an effective 
system of public schools. 

(d) Towns and cities in Massachusetts vary greatly as to 
their capacity to support public schools, such capacity being- 
most conveniently, and with sufficient accuracy, expressed by 
the proportion of the total taxable valuation of the tovn\ or 
city to the average meml>ership of its public schools. 

(e) The disparity among communities in ability to sup- 
port public education tends to increase as some towns and 
cities tend to become largely the homes of wage earners, while 
others tend to become the homes of relatively wealthy people. 

The following findings of the Board were submitted in its 
report to the General Court of 1018, relative to the support 
of public schools : — 

Findings and Recommendations. 

The Board respectfully submits, in response to tlie resolve quote_d 
at the beginning of this report, its findings and recommendations, as 
follows : — 

1. In Massachusetts it has long been the established policy that the 
cost of supporting the regular public schools should be borne by the 
local community. The State gives financial assistance for public school 



19ir3.] HOUSE — No. 1752. 5 

purposes to towns having a valuation not exceeding $2,500,000, and to 
all towns and cities maintaining approved vocational schools. The State 
furthermore expends large sums for the education of defectives and 
delinquents, for the training of teachers, and for the pai-tial support 
of higher technical and agricultural education. 

2. There is in Massachusetts a considerable number of towns and 
cities having a relatively low valuation in i^roportion to the number of 
children to be educated which receive no financial aid fi-om the State 
towards the support of public education. These communities find it 
hard to meet the necessary cost of public education out of the proceeds 
of local taxation. It is jirobable that in some of these communities 
conditions of industry and population are changing in such a way that 
in the future the burden of maintaining adequate school facilities will 
be relatively greater than it is at present. In these cases the historic 
method of supporting public education is and will be, in Massachu- 
setts, unsatisfactory. Notwithstanding that the Commonwealth, by 
legislation and othei-wise, aims to promote fairly uniform standards 
of efficiency in public education, because of limited resources these 
towns are unable to confoiTU to such standards except at the cost of 
excessive taxation. 

3. The Board is of the opinion that sound educational policy on the 
part of the Commonwealth, looking to the maintenance of an efficient 
system of public schools througliout the Commonwealth, requires that 
a immber of toAvns and cities, not now in receipt of financial assistance 
for the support of public education, should be so assisted, if the finan- 
cial resources of the Commonwealth permit the necessary expenditures 
for that purpose. The Board recognizes that there are involved, in 
proposals for further substantial contributions by the State to the 
support of public education, fundamental questions of State fiscal 
policy not within its purview. The Board is convinced that the prac- 
tice of other States and countries, in distributing the cost of support- 
ing public education between the local community and the State or 
nation, is sound in principle and has produced good results, in that 
through State supervision higher standards have been established and 
maintained, and poorer communities have been enabled to offer better 
educational facilities. No sacrifice of local interest need be involved. 
The Board refers the entire subject to the General Court as worthy 
of careful consideration. 

4. In the event that the Commonw^ealth finds it feasible to provide 
contributions out of State revenues towards the support of public 
education additional to those now made, the Board is ready to submit 
to the General Court alternative plans, whereby such contributions 
could be so employed as to assist the communities now most heavily 
burdened, while at the same time providing for proper encouragement 
of local effort and for suitable super\dsion of expenditures, to the end 



6 BOARD OF EDUCATION. [Feb. 

that the highest efficiency may result. The Board regards it as inex- 
pedient to suggest such plans in detail until the entire subject has 
received further consideration. 

5. The Board is of the opinion that the requirement that the income 
of the Massachusetts School Fund shall be apportioned only among 
towns having a valuation not exceeding $2,500,000 is in accordance 
with sound educational policy. But the Board is convinced that a sys- 
tem of apportioning that income to the various towns entitled thereto 
can be devised whereby the needs of the several communities can be 
more equitably met than is the case at present, and whereby greater 
effort on the part of many such communities can be encouraged. . , . 

The Board finds little to add to the foregoing findings or to 
the data on which they were based. The princij)al facts as to 
the support of public schools in Massachusetts are easily ascer- 
tained and understood. Almost yearly, either by additional 
legislation or by the more effective enforcement of existing 
standards, the scope of public school instruction is extended 
and requirements as to quality made more exacting. Towns 
and cities, responding to local public demands for more ser- 
viceable public school facilities, as well as to new legal require- 
ments, are, in general, increasingly disposed to maintain good 
])ublic schools. The salaries of teachers are rising, the size of 
classes is diminishing, and the equipment of schools is improv- 
ing, while the variety of educational opportunities offered is 
being extended. 

Consequently, many towns and cities are finding that the 
burden of taxation for support of schools is steadily growing 
heavier. The statistics found in Appendix D (see column en- 
titled " Expenditure for School Support per $1,000 of Valua- 
tion ") show that a local tax rate for school purposes of $6 or 
even $8 for each $1,000 of valuation is not uncommon. On 
the other hand, many of the more wealthy communities in the 
Commonwealth are able to support excellent schools by a tax 
of $4 or less. 

Obviously, the only adequate and permanent remedy for 
these inequalities is a provision of State aid distributed annu- 
ally in such a way as, on the one hand, measurably to equalize 
the burdens of school support among the towns and cities of 
the Commonwealth, and, on the other, to equalize in some de- 



1915.] HOUSE — No. 1752. 7 

gTee the educational opportunities which can be offered by 
various communities. State aid should be so distributed as to 
encourage each municipality to give adequate support to its 
schools from local taxation, and to embark upon new and de- 
sirable forms of education. 

A sound plan of State aid for the support of public educa- 
tion should, in the opinion of the Board, be based upon the 
following principles : — 

(a) Provision should be made by law for a State tax, 
yielding each year a substantial sum of money, to be known 
as the Public School Fund. 

(h) A large proportion, perhaps 90 per cent., of this Pub- 
lic School Fund, should constitute a Public School Equaliza- 
tion Fund. The Public School Equalization Fund should be 
so distributed among towns and cities entitled thereto that the 
amount received by any town or city, when added to the pro- 
ceeds of a specified local tax (for example, $4 on each $1,000 
of valuation), will provide for the support of public schools 
such an amount as will insure the maintenance of adequate 
school facilities in accordance with the minimum requirements 
of the law. This amount may well be expressed in terms of 
membership in the public schools, as, for example, 15 cents for 
each day of attendance on the part of each elementary and high 
school pupil, with an additional 15 cents for each day of attend- 
ance by each high school pupil. 

(c) When money i-emains in the Equalization Fund after 
the appropriations suggested in (h) have been made, a portion 
of the remaining money should be distributed among such 
to^vns and cities as tax themselves in excess of $4 per $1,000 
of valuation for school purposes, the State giving an amount 
equal to the amount raised by local taxation in excess of the 
proceeds of a $4 tax. However, the entire amount given any 
one municipality under this provision should not exceed 3 
cents for each day of attendance of the pupils in its elemen- 
tary and high schools. 

(d) Only those towns and cities should share in the State 
aid under the provisions of (h) and (c), above, which appro- 
priate and expend for public school purposes from local taxa- 



8 BOARD OF EDUCATION. [Feb. 

tion a stated, amount in proportion to assessed valuation, — 
the amount liere suggested being $4 for each $1,000 of valua- 
tion. 

(e) Any moneys remaining in the State Equalization Fund 
after the foregoing appropriations shall have been made should 
be distributed among all the to^\^s and cities of the State in 
proportion to the average membership of their public schools 
during the preceding school 3^ear. 

(/) A small proportion of the Public School Fund (say, 
10 j)er cent.), to be known as the '' Public School Special Aid 
Fund, " should be set apart to be used to assist communities 
in maintaining special forms of education required by law. 
Many cities and towns must, by the provisions of chapter 590 
of the Acts of 1914, maintain public evening schools. Larger 
cities and towns must maintain courses in manual training 
and mechanical drawing. It is desirable that relatively poor 
communities should be assisted by a State fund in maintaining 
these special forms of instruction. 

It does not appear practicable at the present time to devise 
a uniform law making rigid provision for the distribution of 
the Public School Special Aid Fund. It would seem more 
reasonable to empower the Board of Education to make suit- 
able rules and regulations for the distribution of this fund in 
accordance with the needs of communities as these may appear. 
Such rules and regulations could be changed from time to time, 
as desirable. 

The Board submits herewith (Appendix A) a form of pro- 
posed bill for the creation of a State school fund by a mill tax, 
the distribution of the proceeds of which is to be made in ac- 
cordance with the above principles. The Board is of the opin- 
ion that, if the Legislature finds it desirable and expedient to 
make any provision of State aid for public schools, then such 
aid should be secured and distributed substantially in accord- 
ance with the prof)osed law. The mill tax has been used as a 
convenient basis ; but a study of the statistics presented in Ap- 
pendix D will show that a State tax of one half mill (that is, 
of 50 cents on each $1,000 of valuation) w^ould yield a sub- 
stantial amount, which amount, properly distributed, would 



1915] HOUSE — No. 1752. 9 

bring nnicli relief to communities which are now taxed exces- 
sively to maintain public schools. 

The '' mill tax levy " is suggested as a basis for the proposed 
State school fund partly because many proposals for a similar 
tax have been considered by the Legislature in the past. In 
187.1 the secretary of the Board of Education recommended a 
half mill tax. In 1884, 1887, 1888 and 1895 proposals for a 
mill tax were before the Legislature. In 1896 a bill providing 
a mill tax for school purposes passed the House, but was de- 
feated in the Senate. In 1897 a similar bill passed both House 
and Senate, but was vetoed by the Governor. 

In numj^ States a State fund for school support based upon a 
tax of one or more mills exists, as was pointed out in detail in 
Appendix I) to the report on ^' State School Support, " sub- 
mitted by the Board to the Legislature in 1913. 

The Board appreciates the difficulties confronting any pro- 
posal for a plan of school support which involves additions to 
State taxation. The Board is well aware that taxes now levied 
by the State heavily burden many towns and cities. ]^ever- 
theless, the Board respectfully submits that this problem of 
aiding poorer communities in the support of schools is one 
which merits attention by the Legislature. The resolve calling 
for this report does not direct the Board to consider any of the 
problems of taxation involved. The Board submits these pro- 
posals because it considers them to be based on sound principles 
and to be advantageous to the interests of public education. 

The Board is also directed by the foregoing resolve to sub- 
mit a plan for a more equitable distribution of the Massachu- 
setts School Fund. The statistics in Appendix D show that 
most of the towns entitled to payments from the income of the 
Massachusetts School Fund do not receive excessive sums there- 
from, and also that such towns do tax themselves to a reason- 
able degree for the support of schools. There are marked ex- 
ceptions, however, which show that the present method of dis- 
tribution is, in some respects, imperfect. To remedy certain 
manifest inequalities, the Board submits a proposed amend- 
ment to the existing law (see Appendix B) to the effect that, 
in addition to -the other legal conditions established for sharing 



10 BOARD OF EDUCATION.. [Feb. 

in the income of the Massachusetts School Fund, towns must 
tax themselves for school purposes to an extent of at least $4 
for each $1,000 of valuation. It is further provided that when 
the maximum amount which any town may obtain from the 
fund shall, in addition to the proceeds of a tax of $4 on each 
$1,000 of valuation, amount to more than $900 for each sep- 
arate school maintained by the town with the approval of the 
Board of Education, then the maximum amount to be given 
from the income of the Massachusetts School Fund shall be 
only such sum as, added to the proceeds of a $4 tax, will equal 
$900' for each separate school.

TION THEREOF. 



Aj^ Act to provide foe the Establishment of a State School 
Fund and for the Distribution thereof. 

Be it enacted, etc., as follows: 

Section 1. The State School Fund is hereby established. 
This fund shall be derived from the proceeds of a State tax of one 
mill upon each dollar of valuation, levied annually upon all towns 
and cities in the commonwealth, and from such other appropria- 
tions as may from time to time be made thereto by the legislature. 

Section 2. On the first Wednesday of January of each year 
the treasurer and receiver general of the commonwealth shall ap- 
portion all moneys then in the State School Fund in the follow- 
ing manner (a) ninety per cent of such moneys to a fund to be 
known as the School Equalization Fund, and (b) ten per cent of 
such moneys to a fund to be known as the School Special Aid Fund. 

Section 3. On the first Wednesday of January of each year 
the board of education shall submit to the treasurer and recei^'er 
general of the commonwealth such facts as may be necessary in 
order that the funds established by section two of this act may be 
distributed among the towns and cities of the commonwealth on- 
titled to the same as hereinafter provided. 

Section 4. A city or town shall be entitled to share in the 
funds established by section two of this act only when and after 
the board of education shall have certified that said city or town 
has, in the opinion of the board, complied, during the school year 
immediately preceding, with all laws relating to public schools. 

Section 5. Any city or town that, for the second preceding 
fiscal year of such city or town, shall have expended from the pro- 
ceeds of local taxation for the support of its public schools a san; 
not less than the amount that would have accrued from a tax of 



12 BOARD OF EDUCATION. [Feb. 

four dollars on each one thousand dollars of valuation, as de- 
termined b}^ the tax commissioner, as of January first of said 
second preceding fiscal year, shall be entitled to share in the pro- 
ceeds of the School Equalization Fund in accordance with tlie 
provisions of sections six, seven, eight and nine of this act. 

Section G. The treasurer and receiver general of the common- 
wealth shall, on the twenty-fifth day of January of each year, 
apportion and pay to each town or city entitled, under the pro- 
visions of sections four and five of this act, to share in the School 
Equalization Fund such a sum of money that, when added to the 
amount that would accrue from a tax of four dollars on each one 
tliousand dollars of valuation of said town or city as of January 
first of the current year as determined by the tax commissioner, to- 
gether with the share, if any, that said town or city receives from 
the income of the Massachusetts School Fund for the current 
year, and together with the amounts, if any, which ha^e been paid 
by the commonwealth to said town or city during the fiscal year 
immediately preceding, for state aid to high schools under the pro- 
visions of chapter four hundred and twenty-seven of the acts of 
the year nineteen hundred and eight and for reimbursement of 
tuition under the provisions of chapter five hundred and tliirty- 
seven of the acts of the year nineteen hundred and eleven, will 
provide the following amount: 

The product of fifteen cents multiplied by the sum of the aggre- 
gate number of days of attendance of all pupils in the public ele- 
mentary and high day schools of said city or town for the school 
year last preceding, for whom no tuition was charged by said 
city or town, and the aggregate number of days of attendance 
of pupils for whom said city or town paid tuition in the public 
school of other towns or cities; to which shall be added the prod- 
uct of fifteen cents multiplied by the sum of the aggregate num- 
ber of days of attendance of all pupils over fourteen years of age 
in approved public high schools of said city or town for the school 
year immediately preceding, for Avhom no tuition was charged, and 
the aggregate number of days of attendance of all pupils over 
fourteen years of age for whom said town or city paid tuition, 
with the approval of the board of education, in the public high 
schools of other cities or towns. 

Section 7. If in any year the School Equalization Fund shall 
be insufficient to provide in full the amounts required under the 
provisions of section six of this act, then the treasurer and re- 



1915.] HOUSE — No. 1752. 13 

ceiver general of the commonwealth shall pay to each city and 
town an amount whose ratio to the amount to which such city 
or town would otherwise be entitled, under the provisions of said 
section six, is equal to the ratio of the moneys in the School Equal- 
ization Fund for such year to the sum of the amounts which 
would be apportioned under the provisions of said section six. 

Section 8. If in any year after the allotments provided by 
section six of this act shall have been made, a balance remains in 
the School Equalization Fund, the treasurer and receiver general 
of the commonwealth shall pay from this balance to each city and 
town entitled, according to the provisions of sections three, four 
and five of this act, to share in this fund a sum of money equal 
to the amount expended by said city or town for the support of 
its public schools during the second preceding fiscal year from 
funds raised by local taxation over and above the amount that 
would accrue from a tax of four dollars on each one thousand 
dollars of valuation as on January first of said second preceding 
fiscal year, as determined by the tax commissioner. But the sum 
of money paid to any city or town under the provisions of this 
section shall not exceed the product of three cents multiplied by 
the aggregate number of days of attendance of all pupils in the 
public day elementary and high schools of said city or town for 
the school year last preceding, for whom no tuition was charged by 
said city or town. 

Section 9. If in any year the balance remaining in the School 
Equalization Fund shall be insufficient to provide in full the 
amounts required under the provisions of section eight of this 
act, then the treasurer and receiver general of the commonwealth 
shall pay to each city and town an amount whose ratio to the 
amount to which such city or town would otherwise be entitled, 
under the provisions of said section eight, is equal to the ratio of 
the balance of the moneys in the School Equalization Fund to 
the sum of the amounts which would be apportioned under the 
provisions of said section eight. 

Section 10. If in any year the School Equalization Fund 
shall be more than sufficient to provide the amounts required by 
sections six and eight of this act, then the treasurer and receiver 
general of the commonwealth shall apportion the balance of said 
School Equalization Fund to each of the cities and towns of the 
commonwealth in amounts proportional to the aggregate number 
of days of attendance of all pupils in the public day elementary 



14 BOARD OF EDUCATION. [Feb. 

and high schools of that city or town for the school year last pre- 
ceding, for whom no tuition was charged by said city or town. 

Section 11. The treasurer and receiver general of the com- 
monwealth shall, on the twenty-fifth day of January of each 
year, and as directed by the board of education, pay to each city 
and town from the School Special Aid Fund the sum to which 
said city or town shall be entitled under the provisions of section 
twelve of this act. 

Section 12. Cities and towns maintaining evening schools and 
other special forms of education required by law may, with the 
approval of the board of education, be reimbursed from the School 
Special Aid Fund, in whole or in part, for expenditures incurred 
in maintaining such special forms of education, in accordance with 
rules and regulations to be adopted from time to time by the 
board of education. 

Section 13. The chairman and secretary of the school com- 
mittee of each city and town receiving money in accordance with 
the terms of this act shall annually, in a form to be prescribed 
by the board of education, certify under oath to said board that 
all money so received during the preceding year has been expended 
for the support of public schools. 

Section 14. This act shall take effect on the first day of July, 
nineteen hundred and sixteen. 

Explanatory Notes on Draft of Proposed State School 

Fund Bill. 

Section 1. — A tax of one mill on a dollar based on the State 
valuation as of Jan. 1, 1913, would yield $4,997,939. State taxes 
are levied on the basis of the State valuation instead of the local 
valuation. The mill is used as a convenient unit. 

Section 2. — The- State Equalization Fund would receive 
$4,498,146, and the School Special Aid Fund would receive 
$499,793, on the basis of a one-mill tax levied on valuations as of 
Jan. 1, 1913. 

School Eqvalization Fund. — The purpose of the School Equali- 
zation Fund is to provide for cities and towns that already tax 
themselves for school purposes $4 per $1,000, sufficient additional 
money to enable them to maintain minimum school facilities, 
assumed to cost (see section 6) about 15 cents per day for each 
elementary school pupil and 30 cents for each high school pupil. 
The average cost of public school education in Massachusetts for 



1915.1 HOUSE — No. 1752. 15 

1913 was $10 for elementary school pupils, and $QQ for high 
school pupils. The average number of days' attendance for each 
pupil was about one hundred and seventy days. 

Seciion 3. — The first Wednesday in January is the date set 
in this section, in order that the Treasurer may make the neces- 
sary computations before January 25, the latter being the date 
upon which the income of the Massachusetts School Fund is now 
distributed. 

Section J/. — -This section corresponds to a similar section in 
the Massachusetts School Fund law, providing that cities and 
towns must comply with all school laws in order to share in these 
funds. 

Section 5. — This section provides that no city or town shall 
share in the School Equalization Fund unless it has taxed itself, 
for school purposes, to the extent of at least $4 per $1,000. The 
average local tax for school purposes was, in 1913, $4.45 per $1,000 
of valuation (local valuations used). 

Section 6. — This section provides that each city or town taxing 
itself $4 per $1,000 for school purposes shall receive from the State 
a sum of money equal to approximately $25 for each pupil in the 
average membership of all its schools, and approximately $25 addi- 
tional for each pupil over fourteen years of age in the average high 
school membership, together with corresponding amounts toward 
the tuition, if any, which the town pays for pupils attending ele- 
mentary and high schools in other cities and towns. 

The allotment is based on the actual attendance rather than on 
the average membership, in order to encourage towns to maintain 
schools for a longer school year, and also as an incentive to school 
authorities to secure greater regularity of school attendance. It is, 
at the same time, the fairest basis of distribution, since the cost of 
maintaining schools is, roughly, in proportion to the number of 
weeks that such schools are maintained. 

The double minimum for high school pupils is allowed because 
the maintenance of high school education is usually about twice as 
expensive per pupil as the maintenance of elementary education. 
For the school year ending June 30, 1913, the average cost in 
Massachusetts of elementary schools was $40 per pupil, and of high 
schools, $66 per pupil. For the year ending Jime 30, 1914, the 
average cost of high schools was $68 per pupil. Moreover, it is not 
possible to determine a single amount per pupil that would equit- 
ably represent the amount that should be allowed per pupil for the 



16 BOARD OF EDUCATIOxX. [Feb. 

support of botli, high and elementary schools combined, since the 
ratio of high school pupils to all pupils varies in different towns 
and cities from 5 to 30 per hundred. 

By providing for an approximate allowance of $50 a year (30 
cents multiplied by 170 days) for each pupil attending high school, 
in ease the town maintains its own high school, and at the same 
time allowing an equal amount toward the expenditure for tuition 
in case the town does not maintain a high school, it will be possible 
for each town to consider on its merits the question as to whether 
the town should maintain its high school or not, and at the same 
time will nuike it possible for certain towns to maintain two-year 
high schools, sending pupils for their third and fourth years to 
the high schools of other towns or cities. At the present time, 
towns of less than 500 families are not encouraged to maintain high 
schools of their own, since the State grants only $500 toward the 
support of a high school, but where towns maintain no high schools 
it reimburses one half or, in some cases, the entire expenditure for 
the tuition of pupils attending high schools in other towns and 
cities. Furthermore, the present law takes no account of high 
schools having courses less than four years in length. 

The provision that the additional allowance for high school 
],>upils shall apply only to those pupils who are over fourteen years 
of age will do much to prevent the criticism and discontent that 
jnight arise if certain towns promoted many younger pupils to the 
high school. At the same time, the fact that a pupil over fourteen 
years of age will, if promoted to the high school, count as an addi- 
tional high school pupil, will undoubtedly tend to diminish re- 
tardation in the elementary scho6l. 

In determining the amount to be paid to each city or town ac- 
cording to the provisions of this section, it will be necessary to 
ascertain two sums, and then obtain the difference between these 
two sums. 1'he first sum, as described in the first part of this sec- 
tion, includes the following amounts : — 

1. The amount that the city or town would derive from a tax of 
$1 per $1,000 as based on the State valuation levied during the 
current year. 

2. The amount, if any, that the city or town is to receive from 
the Massachusetts School Fund. 

3. The amount, if any, that a city or town of less than 500 
families received during the preceding fiscal year from the $500 
gi-ant for high schools, and the monevs reimbursed to said city or

town for the tuition of pupils attending outside high schools during 
the preceding year. 

The second sum represents the assumed minimum needs of the 
city or town for school support, and is to equal the sum of the fol- 
lowing items : - — ■ 

1. Fifteen cents for each day of attendance of each pupil in the 
puhlic schools for whom no tuition was charged, 

2. Fifteen cents for each day of attendance of each pupil for 
whom the town pa}'s tuition in the schools of other cities or towns. 

3. An additional fifteen cents for each day of attendance of each 
high school pupil over fourteen years of age for whom no tuition 
was charged. 

4. Fifteen cents additional for each day of attendance of a high 
school pupil over fourteen years of age for whom the town pays 
tuition in the high school of another town or city. 

Section S. — This section oifers an incentive to municipalities to 
provide more than the minimum educational opportunities. For 
elementary schools it provides that, at an additional local expendi- 
ture of about $5 a year per pupil, the expenditure for education 
may be raised from $25 to $35 per pupil through State aid, and 
for high schools, at an additional local expense of $5 a year per 
pupil the total availahlc money for high schools will be raised from 
$50 to $60 per pupil. 

Section 10. — This section provides that any amounts remaining 
in the fund shall be distributed, on the basis of the aggregate num- 
ber of days' attendance, to all the cities and towns of the Common- 
wealth.

PROPOSED FORM OF BILL AMENDING LAW AS TO DIS- 
TRIBUTION OF INCOME OF MASSACHUSETTS SCHOOL 
FUND. 



An Act relative to the Distribution of the Massachusetts 

School Fund. 

Be it enacted, etc., as follows: 

Section 1. Section one of chapter four hundred and fifty-six 
of the acts of the year nineteen hundred and three is hereby 
amended by inserting after the word " sixth ", in the thirty-third 
line, the words : — provided that for the fiscal year nineteen hun- 
dred and eighteen and thereafter a town shall be entitled to share 
in the income of the Massachusetts School Fund under the pro- 
visions of this act only when said town, during the second preceding 
fiscal year, shall have expended out of the proceeds of local taxation 
amounts equalling or exceeding the amounts that would accrue 
from a tax of four dollars on each one thousand dollars of the as- 
sessed valuation of such town, as determined by the tax commis- 
sioner. And provided, further, that when, in any town entitled 
under the provisions of this act to share in the income of the Massa- 
chusetts School Fund, the sum of the proceeds that would accrue 
from a tax of four dollars on each one thousand dollars of the total 
assessed valuation of such town, together with the share of such 
town in the income of the Massachusetts School Fund and, in addi- 
tion, any moneys paid or reimbursed said town for high school 
tuition or transportation, or for high school grant, shall exceed nine 
hundred dollars for each school maintained by said town with the 
approval of the board of education, then the share of such town in 
the income of the Massachusetts School Fund shall be only such 
sum as added to the proceeds of a tax of four dollars on each one 
thousand dollars of the total assessed valuation of said town, to- 
gether with any moneys paid to or reimbursed said town for high 
school tuition or transportation, or for high school grant, shall 
amount to the sum of nine hundred dollars for each school main-

tained by said town with the approval of the board of education 
(the term school as used in this act shall, unless otherwise stated, 
be held to mean a room in charge of a teacher, and in a high school 
the number of such rooms shall be equal to the number of teachers 
regularly employed on full time), — so as to read as follows: — 
Section 1. The annual income of the Massachusetts School Fund 
shall, without specific appropriation, be apportioned and distributed 
for the support of the public schools in the following manner : — 
Every town which complies with all laws relative to the distribu- 
tion of said income, and whose valuation of real and personal prop- 
erty, as shown by the last preceding assessors' valuation thereof, 
does not exceed one half million dollars, shall annually receive five 
hundred dollars; but if its rate of taxation for any year shall be 
eighteen dollars or more on a thousand dollars it shall receive 
seventy-five dollars additional; every such town whose valuation is 
more than one half million dollars and does not exceed one million 
dollars shall receive three hundred dollars ; and every such town 
whose valuation is more than one million dollars and does not ex- 
ceed two million dollars shall receive one hundred and fifty dollars ; 
and every town w^hose valuation is more than two million dollars 
and does not exceed two and one half million dollars shall receive 
seventy-five dollars. The remainder of said income shall be dis- 
tributed to towns whose valuation does not exceed two and one half 
million dollars, and whose annual tax for the support of public 
schools is not less than one sixth of their whole tax for the year, as 
follows : — Every town whose school tax is not less than one third 
of its whole tax shall receive a proportion of said remainder ex- 
pressed by one third; every town whose school tax is not less than 
one fourth of its whole tax shall receive a proportion expressed by 
one fourth; every town whose school tax is not less than one fifth 
of its whole tax shall receive a proportion expressed by one fifth; 
and every town whose school tax is not less than one sixth of its 
whole tax shall receive a proportion expressed by one sixth, pro- 
vided that for the fiscal year nineteen hundred and eighteen and 
thereafter a town shall be entitled to share in the income of the 
Massachusetts School Fund under the provisions of this act only 
when said town, during the second preceding fiscal year, shall have 
expended for the support of its public schools out of the proceeds 
of local taxation amounts equalling or exceeding the amounts that 
would accrue from a tax of four dollars on each one thousand dol- 
lars of the assessed valuation of such town, as determined by the 



20 . BOARD OF EDUCATION. [Feb. 

tax commissioner. And provided, further, that when, in any town 
entitled under the provisions of this act to share in the income of 
the Massachusetts School Fund, the sum of the proceeds that would 
accrue from a tax of four dollars on each one thousand dollars of 
the total assessed valuation of such town, together with the share 
of such town in the income of the Massachusetts School Fund and, 
in addition, any moneys paid or reimbursed said town for high 
school tuition or transportation, or for high school grant, shall 
exceed nine hundred dollars for each school maintained by said 
town with the approval of the board of education, then the share of 
such town in the income of the Massachusetts School Fund shall 
be only such sum as added to the proceeds of a tax of four dollars 
on each one thousand dollars of the total assessed valuation of said 
town, together with any moneys paid to or reimbursed said town 
for high school tuition or transportation, or for high school grant, 
shall amount to the sum of nine hundred dollars for each school 
maintained by said town with the approval of the board of educa- 
tion (the tenn school as used in this act shall, unless otherwisis 
stated, be held to mean a room in charge of a teacher, and in a high 
school the number of such rooms shall be equal to the number of 
teachers regularly employed on full time). 

All money appropriated for other educational purposes, unless 
otherwise provided for, shall be paid from the treasury of the com- 
monwealth. 

Section 2. This act shall take effect upon its passage.
